Melampyrum lineare
Desr.
Leaf mine.
(
Fig. 149
) Whitish, upper surface; initially narrow and linear, then forming a blotch that may obliterate the linear portion. Frass is in scattered grains and short strips. The mines from Mt. Toby were rather different from others we have seen, consisting of long, linear mines contorted to form secondary blotches, with frass in alternating beaded strips.
Puparium.
Yellowish; formed outside the mine.
Distribution.
USA
: MA, NC;
Canada
: AB, BC, NS, ON, QC.
Comments.
This is presumably the species responsible for the unidentified linear-blotch mine on
Melampyrum lineare
that
Spencer (1969)
reported from
Quebec
.
